The Book of All Things: Born for Joy

189. On "Love"

After the song ended, everyone in the audience felt a little reluctant to leave, but it didn't affect their mood at all.

Li Zichun said with a smile, "Alright, it's time for our last song."

"I don't know if I will be able to see everyone here again in the future, but thank you all for your love and for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come here."

"May everyone here have a peaceful and happy life. Even if we can never meet again, I will send you my sincerest greetings every morning, afternoon and evening. Good morning, good afternoon, good night."

"Love is the most beautiful ultimate mystery."

"Love begins with a flutter of the heart and ends with growing old together. A lifetime is long, and just the right amount of liking and favoritism is the most comfortable. You don't have to be perfect, I just need to like you. I'm not perfect either, I just need you not to mind. Liking is like a gust of wind, love is like a gentle stream of companionship. Life is boring, but I'm so lucky to have you."

"Sometimes we're not afraid of being together, we're afraid of the end of the relationship."

"I don't know when it started, but everything seems to have an expiration date. Saury expires, canned meat expires, even cling film expires. I've started to wonder, is there anything in this world that doesn't expire? Do you think love also has an expiration date?"

"The time limit for love is actually: I love you until the moment I stop loving you, that's enough. Love doesn't depend on promises or the future. The ending doesn't erase all the beautiful moments that have already happened; it just puts a period on it, making a story that has come to an end even more complete."

"Love always refers to me loving you as I am now. I am willing to love you infinitely within the limited time I have."

"I will not imprison anyone in the name of love. After all, the sky is the limit. I once said that my heart is higher than the sky. Love is nothing. Freedom is my main theme."

"Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all."

"I'd like to share a song called 'The Price of Love' with you all. I hope you enjoy it."

Li Zichun stood up, walked step by step, and slowly began to sing "The Price of Love," a song that had moved countless people:

Do you still remember the dreams you had when you were young?

Like a flower that never fades

Accompanying me through wind and rain, witnessing the vicissitudes of life and the changes of time.

The price paid for love

It's unforgettable.

All the sincere and devoted words will forever remain in my heart, even though he is no longer there.

Let's go, let's go. People always have to learn to grow up on their own.

Let's go, let's go. Life inevitably involves suffering and struggle.

Let's go, let's go, let's find a home for our hearts.

I've been heartbroken and shed tears; this is the price of love.

Maybe I'll still think about him sometimes.

I can't help but think about him sometimes.

Just treat him like an old friend.

It makes my heart ache and makes me worry.

The spark in my heart has died; let bygones be bygones.

All the sincere and devoted words remain in my heart, though he is no longer here.

......"

Jonathan Lee said, "The Price of Love is not a love song. It was written by Jonathan Lee for my sister. I dare not teach people how to fall in love, because every relationship is a unique case."

As a songwriter, Jonathan Lee believes that his songs are clear, but his own emotions are hazy. He knows very little about women and dares not teach them how to be in love, because the angel who loves one person may be the devil of another. Therefore, every relationship is a unique case, and all the price of love is worth it.

What is honey to me is poison to someone else; this is exactly the case.

The final words, "Let's go," always touch the softest part of our hearts. We grow gradually amidst loss, but she has long since left us.

In love, you may experience happiness, but there are also times when you have to pay a price. People always have to learn to grow up on their own.

"The Price of Love" is an unforgettable song for everyone who has heard it. The melody is beautiful, carrying a touch of melancholy and a longing for past love, a stark contrast to reality, and a hope for a future filled with love. The song's melody is highly lyrical, expressing emotions in a gentle, understated way.

Once you've loved, you'll understand what the price of love is.

"The Price of Love" was originally sung by Sylvia Chang, and has also been performed by singers such as Gigi Leung and Sarah Chen. In terms of style, they share a common approach: a relaxed, gentle, lyrical style tinged with a subtle sadness, rather than a sorrowful, weeping, painful, or fiery one. Like chicken soup for the soul, it offers comfort, nourishment, solace, and hope.

The song "The Price of Love" brought the entire audience to a quiet, even somewhat sad and helpless state, but Li Zichun's warm, gentle, and affectionate voice also brought comfort.

After the song ended, amidst a commotion, all the performers came to the front of the stage. Li Zichun said with a smile, "Alright, today's concert is coming to an end. This is the last song, 'Love,' for everyone. I hope everyone can be their own light, not too bright, just enough to get through the cold winter and darkness."

"Those who love you will come to you by the light and accompany you through every spring, summer, autumn and winter of your life."

Accompanied by everyone present, Li Zichun, Du Zihua, and Li Ke, as lead singers, sang Little Tigers' "Love":

Oh, let's string your heart and my heart together.

String together a lucky clover, string together a concentric circle.

Let all those who yearn for the future accompany us while we're young.

Don't let your youth become more lonely as you grow older.

Plant my lucky clover in your dream field

Let the Earth revolve forever, following our concentric circles.

Shout "I love you!" to the sky.

I want to tell the wandering white clouds that I miss you.

Let the sky hear, let the white clouds see, no one can erase the promise we made.

I want to take you to see the sea and tell you I love you.

I'll tell you I miss you from the brightest star in the sky.

Listen to the vows of the sea

Look at the persistent blue sky

Let us love freely.

Oh~~~

......

Oh~~

"Love" is a culmination of the Little Tigers' work, showcasing their seasoned talent. The Little Tigers' expression of the definition of "love" is more refined and elevated to a new level. "Love" uses sign language to describe "love" as a broader emotion.

"Love" is the title track from Little Tigers' fifth charity album, created to support charitable activities for the deaf and mute. It topped the 1991 Taiwan Golden Melody Awards' Autumn Chart.

The promotional tagline for Chen Dali and Li Ziheng's song "Love" reads: "When youthful dreams flutter away like butterflies and disappear without a trace, our love has never lost its original color. In this world that belongs to me and to you, we string our two hearts together into a concentric circle. Let the earth spin freely to the rhythm of the youthful symphony."

Although the road ahead may be filled with trials and tribulations, we firmly believe that as long as we possess the power of love and let love accompany our youth, we will surely find a home for our dreams and allow all our hopes and aspirations to take root and sprout through mutual promises, and be realized one by one.

Although misunderstandings have sometimes blurred our understanding of each other, it was always due to my carelessness and negligence that I hurt you. I sincerely say I'm sorry. For tomorrow, for our shared wishes, from today onwards, please remember this: I will love you forever. This will be my vow that I will never regret in this life.

Don't let your youth grow older and you become lonelier. While your heart is still burning and your dreams are still by your side, let's love boldly.

Li Zichun sang and danced with everyone, and some sensible people recognized that it was sign language and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "They really put their heart into it!"

After finishing the song, Li Zichun stood quietly and waved goodbye to everyone.

On the two large screens were text videos he had recorded beforehand: "Love is a smoke blown up by a sigh; a spark purified by it in the eyes of lovers; a wave stirred up by it in the tears of lovers. It is also the wisest madness, a bitter taste that chokes the throat, and a sweet taste that quenches the tongue."

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

The screen in the middle lit up with the sentence: "Love is the creator of all good, noble, strong, warm, and bright things."

"Learn to love others, learn to understand love, and learn to be a happy person. This means learning to respect yourself and learning human virtues."

The screen went dark, and the entire concert came to a close amidst a shower of colorful ribbons, accompanied by the enthusiastic dancing to this song.

The lights came on, but there was no so-called "encore," no heart-wrenching cries. Everyone knew Li Zichun's nature; they felt they had already gained something by being able to sing one more song. Everyone consciously took their trash and left the stage in an orderly manner.

Li Ke hugged him and cried, saying, "Thank you."

Li Zichun had actually done more than enough for him. The reason he didn't unfollow and block him like he would with others was because he was grateful for Li Zichun's help when he was down on his luck. Without that ordeal in Kowloon Port and his perseverance, he probably wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

After attending the celebration banquet, the group went their separate ways.

Du Zihua took Li Zichun back to his small villa. After taking a shower, he felt completely exhausted.

Li Zichun patted his little head and said out of the blue, "Zhao Qianfan will be here in a few days."

Du Zihua pouted, then hugged him tightly and said, "Oh~ then should I hurry up and enjoy our time alone together?"

Li Zichun gently flicked his nose and said with a smile, "It's been a week, and you're still so clingy and infatuated. You're such a young man."

Du Zihua hugged him and chuckled, "Don't you want it too? I feel like you want it too."

Li Zichun said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just... um..."

Before Li Zichun could finish speaking, Du Zihua kissed him passionately, and after more than ten seconds he said, "If it's you, a lifetime won't be enough."

Before Li Zichun could finish speaking, Du Zihua reached out and covered his mouth, saying, "This is a time for just the two of us, so don't mention anyone else. Right now, I love you, and holding me is enough."

Li Zichun didn't object, but instead hugged his neck and said softly with a compliant smile, "Okay."

As soon as Jinfeng Yulu met, they won but countless on earth.

Morning and evening, long and enduring, when wispy clouds weave their patterns.

The silence speaks.

While the two were deeply in love, little did they know that the success of their first concert had already ignited the entire internet and social media.

The first show of the farewell concert was a resounding success.

Unlike watching live streams or videos of new song concerts, live concerts are a place where people can release their emotions to the fullest extent. It's a space where people can interact closely, allowing for maximum emotional release. Music brings them a great deal of emotional value.

Throughout the entire concert, the audience's deep participation, immersive experience, and emotional response in the first half are all difficult to express in words or measure in price.

There was laughter, there were tears, there was growth, there were touching moments.

The audience's sing-alongs, one song after another, culminating in the performance of a new song at the end, provided them with an unparalleled and wonderful experience.

Moreover, the entire performance was not broadcast live or recorded for sale to the public. In other words, before Li Zichun uploaded new songs, they were the only people who had heard these songs.

This temporary supreme experience satisfied them greatly.

Although many people clamored to buy the recording disc as a souvenir, without Li Zichun's authorization and decision, everyone could only watch the screen recording on their phones, and the blurry noise and poor picture quality were simply frustrating.

The reason it wasn't published is that the video recordings from the scene had already been signed to Lin Xuehua, who was handling everything. Li Zichun didn't want to get involved and just let them make a fuss.

As for the release of the songs, they will naturally be released together after these first five performances.

Nevertheless, the release of the song "Love" still garnered widespread social response, not only due to the charm of the song itself, but more so because of the value it conveyed.

The integration of sign language allows more people in various groups to understand music and pay attention to the music itself.

With another week until the next concert, Li Zichun's task is to let everything unfold naturally and wait for things to come to a peaceful end.

Because of the popularity of the official program "Youth Culture and Tourism", more and more TV stations and people wanted to interview him, but he refused them all, saying he would wait until after his concerts were over.

Du Zihua also turned down recent events, spending all his time with Li Zichun at the villa, enjoying their private time together. Li Zichun felt that everything was so wonderful it was unreal.

Li Zichun leaned against Du Zihua's chest, while he patted Li Zichun's head and smiled. Suddenly, he sighed and said weakly, "Chunzi, I want to have a child."

Li Zichun was slightly stunned again. When he looked up, he met Du Zihua's deep, star-like eyes, which were looking at him with joy, expectant yet anxious, waiting for his answer.
